First heard of Kelly Joe Phelps a few weeks ago whilst browsing in my fave CD store - loved my first purchase, so being buying more....and it is all superb.

For me, Kelly Joe Phelps is a "local artist", although he doesn't play around here as much as I'd like. If you don't have it already, look for "Lead Me On", his first release, on the Burnside label. Still my favorite.

My last cd purchase: Happenstance, by Rachael Yamagata. If you like Fiona Apple, and even if you don't, check this one out.

Another nice lot from MA recordings: Churches, Ancient Halls, Monasteries and other places which hold a very individual sound captured on disc by means of simplest recording technologies and ambitioned musical projects / musicians
Jiang Ting - The Voice of the Pipa - Chiesa di San Colombano, Lucca, Italy
Mauro Refosco - Seven Waves - St, Peters Church, Chelsea, NYC, USA - St. Peters has proven on many (Chesky) recordings to be a place with spirit. John Lurie and Paul Socolow amongst the 8 players
la chimera - Buenos Aires Madrigal - Parrochia di S. Vittore, Agrate, Conturbia, Italy - Italian Madrigal meets Agentina Tango
Sera Una Noche - - Monastero Gandara, Argentina - First of the two Sera una Noche recordings full of Argentinian Tango feeling.
Joao Paulo, Peter Epstein, Ricardo Dias - Nascer - St. George Church, Lisboa, Portugal
Bruce Stark - To The Winter Sun - The Harmony Hall, Matsumoto, Japan
Peter Epstein - Solus - San Martino Cathedral, Lucca, Italy
Barry Wedgle, Shigeo Sugiyama - virgo - The Harmony Hall, Matsumoto, Japan - Classical or Flamenco Guitar and double bass
Peter Epstein, Scott Colley, Peter Erskine - Old School - St, Peters Church, Chelsea, NYC, USA

Postie has just dropped the following on my doormat from Amazon:-

Josh Rouse - Nashville
Todd Snider - East Nashville Skyline
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Nuthin' Fancy

Recent purchases.

Mary Chapin Carpenter: Between Here And Gone. Best she has done for ages I think.

Mojave 3: Excuses For Travellers. A real grower, think I ultimately like this more than 'Spoon and Rafter' Summery and melodic.

Shearwater Winged Life. Not sure about this one, rather overwrought along lines of Tom Mcrae/Aqulaung.

Bruce

cycle - canto de la vida - EXCELLENT CD with mediterranean music of the last 6 centuries. Female (and male) voice plus percussion singing songs of life (cantos de la vida). Highly recommended !

Tori Amos - The Beekeeper; initial impression favourable
Thievery Corporation - The Cosmic Game; hmm - not sure, but the missus likes it
Josh Rouse - Nashville; very good
Low - The great destroyer; very good

Omar Sosa - Mulato - superb album - highly recommended - kind of world meets jazz - good melodies, rhythm and atmosphere - Stefan, you should like this one - see www.omarsosa.com

Wasilewski/Kurkiewicz/Miskiewicz - Trio - a new ECM classic in the making - these are the guys that backed Tomasz Stanko on his last two excellent ECM releases making their own disc - again, this is excellent - Stefan!

David Byrne - Rei Momo

Johnny Cash - American IV - The Man Comes around

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense - long version to replace my short version copy

Eric Clapton - Sessions for Robert J

Changing Faces - The Very Best of Rod Stewart and the Faces

Cheers
Adrian

Kon Tiki, Cotton Mather; the end of a long search for this excellent CD (Thanks for the assist Howard!). Very Beatlesque, which is the primary musical requirement for CDs I look for.

Then & Now, the Who; nicely packaged "greatest hits" CD from the Shepherd's Bush Mods. Has most of the early singles, which is really all I need from them. Also features two new tracks which feature Greg Lake(!) on bass, though the bass playing is so anonymous-sounding it could've been me on bass (a bit of a disappointment); I was hoping for some Ox-style bass attack. Zak Starkey is a good Moon-style drummer though!
